LineFromTo

Good afternoon, despite the fact it is one o'clock on Wednesday, we are

:00:33.:00:42.

heaving here at Lakeside and it is second round time and 16 men are

:00:43.:00:49.

looking to capture the famous old trophy that currently resides in a

:00:50.:00:56.

box under Scott Mitchell's bed. This afternoon, the number one seed is

:00:57.:01:01.

back on stage, he has the Masters and he wants the World Championship

:01:02.:01:05.

as well, Glen Durrant is gunning for glory and he will face Larry Butler

:01:06.:01:13.

who is nicknamed the Eagle, his experience could count. We will have

:01:14.:01:18.

a complete women's quarterfinals line-up after this afternoon,

:01:19.:01:21.

Lorraine Winstanley against Rachel Brookes, and then Jim Williams

:01:22.:01:27.

flying the flag for Wales having whitewashed Tony O'Shea in the first

:01:28.:01:32.

round and he will need to be in good form because he is playing Wesley

:01:33.:01:37.

Harms, the Dutchman winning in five sets against Seigo Asada last night.

:01:38.:01:45.

A warm welcome from Lakeside. We spent an afternoon with the legend

:01:46.:01:50.

who has been around for so long, yesterday I heard him refer to Larry

:01:51.:01:56.

Butler as some! I am old enough! -- son. Second round, apart from the

:01:57.:02:05.

games today, what jumps out at you? Mitchell against McGeeney? Mitchell

:02:06.:02:11.

played very well first round and had a tough game. He kept it together

:02:12.:02:19.

and finished well. A bit of authority on the stage. He played

:02:20.:02:28.

well. I thought he might go a bit first game but he didn't, he raised

:02:29.:02:34.

his game. Mark McGeeney is the unknown quantity, and if he can

:02:35.:02:37.

raise his game, that is more of a contest than people might think.

:02:38.:02:43.

Mark is a very tidy player, I have seen him and he plays very well. He

:02:44.:02:50.

is quiet, no one knows him, only in the darts world. If he starts

:02:51.:02:55.

putting them in, he could do some damage. Scott Waites against good De

:02:56.:03:03.

Vos, that jumps out. I am looking forward to Dawson against Smith will

:03:04.:03:06.

. The new qualification system has

:03:07.:05:46.

given Larry Butler a chance to come here for the second time, 1992 was

:05:47.:05:53.

his last time! They say you remember your defeats as much as your

:05:54.:05:56.

victories. You spoke to him last night when he walked past us, Hiro

:05:57.:06:01.

membered the exact out shot you beat him with about 30 years ago! -- he

:06:02.:06:09.

remembered. He said I played him when he was a little baby, and I

:06:10.:06:16.

went out on 96! He has got a good memory. But he is quite dangerous.

:06:17.:06:23.

America play a shorter format so they are sharp on the out shots.

:06:24.:06:28.

This is longer, he might not play this overlap. His average is right

:06:29.:06:33.

down but his checkout percentage is a brilliant 40%. It is if he can get

:06:34.:06:39.

to those with Durrant's scoring power. It is a longer format, it

:06:40.:06:47.

doesn't hurt you if you lose the first set. If it is best-of-5, you

:06:48.:06:51.

are in trouble but this is longer so we should see better darts. He will

:06:52.:06:57.

take his chance, if Glen gives him a chance, he will take it. You have to

:06:58.:07:04.

be a bit hard edged to win here, Scott Mitchell learned the hard way,

:07:05.:07:08.

Glen Durrant seems to have as well from that interview. He is a nice

:07:09.:07:15.

guy but from now on he is not taking prisoners. Whatever the opponent,

:07:16.:07:25.

you are here to win. Everybody remembers the champion and not the

:07:26.:07:31.

loser. Some people feel different. Everybody has a different approach.

:07:32.:07:37.

Unless I am mistaken, I like watching TV, but isn't that the guy

:07:38.:07:44.

from the Chase Rosti what next? Richard Osmond? Celebrities! Matt

:07:45.:07:52.

Ford was here yesterday. People love their darts, as long as there are

:07:53.:08:00.

doubles and troubles. Is that the guy from the Chase? Yes! I'm not

:08:01.:08:09.

checking him out! Lets get the players on.

:08:10.:08:13.

Ladies and gentlemen, on behalf of the richest arts organisation,

:08:14.:08:24.

welcome to the 2016 Lakeside World Championships. -- British Darts

:08:25.:08:31.

Organisation. It is the second round here at Lakeside! We now introduce

:08:32.:08:41.

to the stage our USA regional qualifier, a former World Matchplay

:08:42.:08:49.

champion, from Hohaia, the Eagle, Larry Butler! -- from Ohio.

:08:50.:09:03.

We now welcome to the stage Lakeside World Championship semifinalist. He

:09:04.:10:03.

is the current holder of six world ranking titles. He is the world

:10:04.:10:07.

number one, the reigning world Masters champion, England's Glen

:10:08.:10:13.

Durrant! Larry Butler looking to be the

:10:14.:11:17.

star-spangled spanner in the works for Glen Durrant. Over to our

:11:18.:11:20.

commentators. COMMENTATOR: Good afternoon. Then

:11:21.:11:30.

Durrant is the 2-1 favoured to win this BDO World Championships and of

:11:31.:11:35.

course a massive favoured to win this but they know all about each

:11:36.:11:40.

other. In the final of the world Masters last year, Glen Durrant bead

:11:41.:11:46.

Larry Butler but earlier in that week in the qualification for the

:11:47.:11:50.

grand slam, it was Butler who beat Durrant. Speaking to Larry, he says

:11:51.:11:57.

he is more than ready to win this match and is not intimidated by

:11:58.:12:03.

facing the world number one. He is a computer expert from darter no

:12:04.:12:06.

higher -- from Dayton, oh hi oh. He has some support in the crowd,

:12:07.:12:22.

most notably his wife, Sharon. Glen Durrant from Middlesbrough has had a

:12:23.:12:25.

terrific year and if he can replicate that he will take some

:12:26.:12:31.

stopping this week. He has already accounted for Dean Reynolds, he said

:12:32.:12:34.

he felt nervous in the opening match. Can he produced his best

:12:35.:12:41.

today? Ladies and gentlemen, it is the best of seven sets, it is Glen

:12:42.:12:43.

to throw first, game on. I'd tell you what, we could be in

:12:44.:12:49.

for some fireworks. Even the walk on is have got this

:12:50.:13:05.

place a thing. If they produce anything like the darts they did in

:13:06.:13:11.

the grand slam qualifier, only nine legs but still, it was something

:13:12.:13:17.

special. Very high standard. Butler won that 5-4. It went all the way.

:13:18.:13:22.

Butler is a really good finisher. He might not get the big scores but

:13:23.:13:37.

if he gets anything like that and if he can hold Durrant on the scoring

:13:38.:13:42.

power, Butler has the game and finishing power to be right in the

:13:43.:13:47.

mix and maybe even spring what would be a huge upset. Where he plays,

:13:48.:13:57.

Larry Butler, and the sort of matches, they tend to be shorter

:13:58.:14:02.

matches so you don't have time trying to find your double, you

:14:03.:14:08.

either find it or you've lost. And he played something like 35 weekends

:14:09.:14:11.

a year which is a busy itinerary. What a year Glen Durrant has had,

:14:12.:14:21.

since losing to Martin Adams in that fabulous semifinal last year when he

:14:22.:14:27.

averaged nearly 100 but came up short, he

:14:28.:14:27.

averaged nearly 100 but came up tournament to tournament, winning

:14:28.:14:31.

six titles in 2015. Butler has an opportunity in this

:14:32.:14:49.

opening leg. He is ahead against the darts.

:14:50.:15:03.

Let's see about some of that finishing power. Not that time.

:15:04.:15:14.

We with treble 20. It's on... What

:15:15.:15:27.

about that for a way to start a match! A 141 checkout and Larry

:15:28.:15:35.

Butler can only stand and admire and gives him a sporting little round of

:15:36.:15:42.

applause. He treated us to a 144 in the quarterfinals against Darryl

:15:43.:15:45.

Fitton last year, Glen Durrant. In that semifinal against Martin Adams,

:15:46.:15:55.

he hit 13 180s and of course missed three match darts to reach the

:15:56.:16:01.

final, losing 5-3 in the deciding set. He looks very much to have his

:16:02.:16:12.

match head on, that look of steely determination and the 141 checkout.

:16:13.:16:17.

He is such a nice fella away from the stage. But as any player has to

:16:18.:16:26.

be, he has to have that killer instinct and produce darts like

:16:27.:16:33.

that! Opening maximum of the match, could be the first of many. A great

:16:34.:16:40.

chance to break. Butler is nowhere. And Durrant is on 181 after six

:16:41.:16:43.

darts. He is potentially on an 11 darter.

:16:44.:17:08.

Durrant could pick up the first rate of the match. -- first break. He

:17:09.:17:18.

doesn't need to hit it this time and he won't. Still not happy about

:17:19.:17:25.

missing that treble 10. You could see the look of irritation. He can

:17:26.:17:34.

rectify it now with double 16. Beautiful. Two doubles out of two

:17:35.:17:46.

attempts and 2-0 to the good. We talked about Larry Butler's

:17:47.:17:53.

finishing, how about Glen Durrant? 141 with the darts macro in the

:17:54.:17:59.

first leg and a 13 dart leg to follow it. And how about that? He is

:18:00.:18:08.

not the top seed for nothing. The big fella from the United States

:18:09.:18:23.

awakens. We hoped it would be good, we expected it to be good and it is

:18:24.:18:29.

good! It is better than good, it is outstanding already.

:18:30.:18:35.

Nice cover from Butler. How he would love to Nick leg back. He needs to

:18:36.:18:52.

get into this match, Larry. The longer format at this stage, the

:18:53.:19:00.

first 24-macro sets. -- the first to four sets.

:19:01.:19:08.

Butler will come back with 126, not a bad finish also it is all about

:19:09.:19:24.

the 19s. One dart at double 16. 104 making

:19:25.:20:00.

him the winner of the first set. Superb darts, averaging over 98 and

:20:01.:20:05.

three doubles out of three, 100% checkout rate. The only double Larry

:20:06.:20:14.

Butler ain't for was that bullseye in the third leg -- aimed for. We

:20:15.:20:23.

mentioned the finishing would be key and this is just great. Another

:20:24.:20:29.

maximum to start the leg from the top seed. The finishing is perfect

:20:30.:20:33.

and the scoring is not bad either. Quality darts. A three figure

:20:34.:21:03.

average for Durrant. That is why he is giving Butler a bit of a tower

:21:04.:21:13.

link at the moment. -- a bit of a beating. If you missed his opening

:21:14.:21:20.

two matches, Larry Butler, he had to play a luminary round match against

:21:21.:21:30.

James Hurrell. He then beat Ryan De Vreede. They were both 3-2. Durrant

:21:31.:21:40.

on a finish again but not this time but he is a long way clear and

:21:41.:21:47.

setting it up nicely. Those were Butler's first matches on the

:21:48.:21:51.

Lakeside stage since 1992 when he made his debut.

:21:52.:21:56.

When you are that far ahead, you can afford one won the dart at a double.

:21:57.:22:24.

-- wonky dart. He said when he beat Dean Reynolds that he was shaking

:22:25.:22:35.

like a leaf inside. He was really relieved to get through that.

:22:36.:22:41.

Absolutely. The mantle of favouritism obviously carries a

:22:42.:22:44.

pressure with it. He had a real spring in his step for

:22:45.:23:01.

the rest of the day after coming through that match, Glen Durrant. He

:23:02.:23:09.

has had to get his game ahead act on again. He did pretty well because

:23:10.:23:15.

Dean Reynolds is a good player and he won fairly comfortably. -- back

:23:16.:23:24.

on. He looked at his draw and he thought he had a tough one so he was

:23:25.:23:27.

relieved to get it away. 164 is a finish. He has already had

:23:28.:24:10.

141. He will get another visit, Butler is on 225. Larry Butler could

:24:11.:24:18.

do with a score here to leave himself a reasonable finish, if

:24:19.:24:24.

Durrant misses 104. The way he is throwing, that is a big if.

:24:25.:24:36.

He can't do it, treble 20 would put him on two double four.

:24:37.:24:55.

For only his second dart at a double, they have both been at the

:24:56.:25:05.

red brick in the centre. -- read bit.

:25:06.:25:11.

Good darts. Really good. Five doubles out of six. He has won five

:25:12.:25:20.

legs on the spin. Astonishing checking out. Five out

:25:21.:25:38.

of six from the top seed. If you are new to darts, anything over 50% is

:25:39.:25:44.

that a stick. Over 60 is wonderful stuff. -- is fantastic.

:25:45.:26:03.

His actual scoring has gone off the boil a bit, Durrant, after a quite

:26:04.:26:10.

brilliant start. Still scoring heavily enough to have left Larry

:26:11.:26:18.

Butler just two darts at a double and both at bullseye in this in tire

:26:19.:26:30.

match. -- entire match. This is more like it. His fourth maximum of the

:26:31.:26:35.

match already. No outshot, 166 required. But the

:26:36.:26:59.

throw of Butler is under a lot of pressure now.

:27:00.:27:08.

Bullseye again. He went for the 99, maybe he thought he hit the treble.

:27:09.:27:23.

That was a massive miscount. That is a set again, already. Six legs in a

:27:24.:27:38.

row. Six doubles out of seven attempts.

:27:39.:27:47.

Treble 16 would have left double 9, that is his thinking. Here we go

:27:48.:28:00.

again, Glen Durrant. Oh yes! Yes indeed! Five maximums in six and a

:28:01.:28:11.

bit legs. He is back in the zone now. It is wonderful to watch,

:28:12.:28:18.

unless you are Larry Butler. There's another one. Just the wrong side of

:28:19.:28:26.

the wire. He was annoyed to miss it. He is fancying that ?50,000 bonus

:28:27.:28:35.

for the nine-darter. You would not act against him, the way he is

:28:36.:28:41.

throwing at the moment. He has upped his game from his opening match

:28:42.:28:45.

significantly. We thought he had another gear to go into against Dean

:28:46.:28:49.

Reynolds and he is starting to show it.

:28:50.:29:00.

He doesn't have to take it out and he won't. Again, Butler is way back.

:29:01.:29:19.

You have two feel a bit for Larry Butler. He has not got into the

:29:20.:29:24.

match, he has not been given an opportunity, he has been battered

:29:25.:29:28.

out there and is not scoring heavily enough. Double 16 for a seventh leg

:29:29.:29:38.

in a row. Seven doubles out of eight. Genuinely extraordinary.

:29:39.:29:55.

Larry Butler has had just three darts at a double, all at bullseye,

:29:56.:30:05.

so his average for his first nine darts are almost identical. He is

:30:06.:30:16.

just being swamped. They take a break at the end of the next set and

:30:17.:30:19.

it can't come soon enough for Butler. He desperately needs to get

:30:20.:30:22.

into this match somehow. He's simply not being allowed to,

:30:23.:30:32.

they say you play the board and not the man that when the man is

:30:33.:30:37.

throwing the sort of darts that Glen Durrant is a that is the sort of

:30:38.:30:39.

thing that is very difficult to do. The Japanese player with an American

:30:40.:30:48.

flag! Both looked rather forlorn than

:30:49.:31:03.

they? Just at the moment. Onto a finish again, already. I tell you

:31:04.:31:11.

what, you would not be surprised if he took this out. He has had five

:31:12.:31:17.

maximums, need another couple of treble 20s before the Bill. Not this

:31:18.:31:20.

time. Again, must start with the treble 20

:31:21.:31:51.

and does. Another one. For double 1440 148.

:31:52.:32:04.

You would watch a lot of darts matches before use finishing like

:32:05.:32:17.

this. 89% out rate. Eight legs in a row. Eight doubles in nine attempts.

:32:18.:32:27.

Extraordinarily. Sensational. Brilliant arts. -- darts. Just one

:32:28.:32:41.

more lake to go free sets up. -- leg. The wife of Larry Butler. She

:32:42.:32:49.

has not been cheering much but that 140 was much needed.

:32:50.:32:57.

Has he got it in him to be able to fight back, does he have the game to

:32:58.:33:04.

do that? If he keeps doing this, maybe. Larry Butler might be first

:33:05.:33:10.

to finish. That was unlucky, the second dart.

:33:11.:33:52.

So close to being another maximum. Cannot be done. He's still had just

:33:53.:34:02.

three darts at bullseye to win legs. Just that to show for eight legs of

:34:03.:34:04.

darts. Topsy needs. Must hit it, does hit

:34:05.:34:12.

it. This is better. His third maximum of

:34:13.:35:15.

the match. We have had seven already. Chanting USA again.

:35:16.:35:35.

One thing you can say about Larry is he has a very good temperament, he

:35:36.:35:42.

does just keep chugging along. Absolutely right.

:35:43.:35:52.

Treble 20s needed. Leads himself with a tonne when he comes back.

:35:53.:36:12.

Will not want to lose this set. Glen Durrant.

:36:13.:36:20.

But Butler is right back and it if he takes this out. Great dart. Tops.

:36:21.:36:25.

To level. Needed two trebles to start. Double

:36:26.:37:00.

10 for Butler. Only got 100. Six. -- only got one double out of six. We

:37:01.:37:05.

have talked about what a good finisher he is and he is not showing

:37:06.:37:17.

it. Tops, for a free set lead. -- 3-set. Half the crowd thought it was

:37:18.:37:31.

in. Middlesbrough on his top, they are going all the way in the

:37:32.:37:35.

championship at the moment, Glenn Durrant going very nicely indeed. He

:37:36.:37:46.

warmed up with Mark from the chase but she is streets ahead so far

:37:47.:37:50.

against Larry Butler. Masterminding a 3-set lead. Bobby George, big

:37:51.:38:01.

words before his second-round match and they were big darts to back it

:38:02.:38:09.

up. 89% on the is unbelievable. Scoring so well as well. Down to

:38:10.:38:18.

75%. The tonne plus finishes was the showbiz, three of them coming from

:38:19.:38:21.

all different parts of the board. Lovely stuff. 104. 141. 148. Butler

:38:22.:38:30.

is good at finishing but he had a chance to take

:38:31.:38:36.

is good at finishing but he had a before that he missed three

:38:37.:38:40.

is good at finishing but he had a bullseyes. The scoring

:38:41.:38:43.

is good at finishing but he had a there. He is under pressure if he's

:38:44.:38:46.

got a shot because he knows the next game if he doesn't score you will

:38:47.:38:48.

get beaten up again. At this game if he doesn't score you will

:38:49.:38:54.

Glenn Durrant on our 100 average, it dipped because I suppose he

:38:55.:38:59.

Glenn Durrant on our 100 average, it finding himself comfortably ahead,

:39:00.:39:04.

ahead by 100 points, 200 points. So you start feel like you are playing

:39:05.:39:10.

yourself at times. It is nice to do that, when you're playing well, it's

:39:11.:39:16.

like practice session. He is playing a game when he is practising but

:39:17.:39:20.

what he was there, it was a practice game because Butler put no pressure

:39:21.:39:25.

on him. He will obviously play well. If Butler starts hitting good scores

:39:26.:39:29.

and putting pressure on it could turn the game around but he has to

:39:30.:39:36.

buck up quickly. From the walk on, sometimes from this position on the

:39:37.:39:38.

balcony sometimes from this position on the

:39:39.:39:43.

we see that camera don't see and when Glen Durrant was coming out

:39:44.:39:46.

Larry Butler was trying to remember where to stand on the stage, he

:39:47.:39:52.

looked anxious to me. It is a big occasion, 22 years between Lakeside

:39:53.:39:59.

appearances. He's worked hard, he had to qualify. But remember, it has

:40:00.:40:08.

been 22 years and you don't want to leave at another 22 years so he

:40:09.:40:12.

wants to play well to see if he can get further in the tournament and he

:40:13.:40:21.

was a bit lost up there to be fair. He was snatching the first

:40:22.:40:25.

was a bit lost up there to be fair. then he started throwing a bit

:40:26.:40:29.

straighter and started scoring. What about when you are playing somebody

:40:30.:40:36.

like Glenn Durrant, 75%, you have been in that situation we have been

:40:37.:40:40.

hitting doubles but you have also been the other player, what's it

:40:41.:40:43.

like when you know your opponent is likely to hit it when he gets to it.

:40:44.:40:48.

You don't like it, in your mind you thinking miss. But that's the game,

:40:49.:40:54.

beat your opponent, keep on top and don't give them a chance but

:40:55.:40:59.

sometimes the break-out is the player who is not playing well.

:41:00.:41:06.

Let's see Butler, if he is playing any better. I know he is a set away

:41:07.:41:16.

and every penny I have would be on him to win, but Larry throwing fast

:41:17.:41:20.

so if you look at it from a tennis point of view he is one set behind.

:41:21.:41:25.

If he holds his throw and turns his game around, I don't think you well,

:41:26.:41:30.

but it's only the set after this one he has to win to be 3-3. If he holds

:41:31.:41:36.

his darts he has every chance to get back in the game. Glenn looking

:41:37.:41:39.

untouchable at the moment. COMMENTATOR: We do sometimes see big

:41:40.:42:14.

turnarounds after a little breaks. We saw one big turnaround last night

:42:15.:42:18.

didn't we? Ryan Dawson coming fighting back when he was 2-0 down.

:42:19.:42:30.

Winning 3-2 against John Walton. Had a couple of darts at double tops to

:42:31.:42:33.

win the match and still wasn't fazed. Butler needs to be as scrappy

:42:34.:42:43.

as he was. Speaking of darts to win and match, Glen Durrant had three

:42:44.:42:54.

darts to reach the final here last year and even though he put it out

:42:55.:42:59.

of his mind to the extent that he won six ranking titles and got

:43:00.:43:04.

himself seeded number one, and unquestionably I think has been the

:43:05.:43:10.

best player on the BDO circuits, it must have rankled. Somewhere in the

:43:11.:43:14.

back of his mind, those darts must have rankled. You still have to do

:43:15.:43:21.

it when you get up there. Might have run of form behind him but he's got

:43:22.:43:26.

to produce. Look at the PPC and Michael van Gerwen, the year he had,

:43:27.:43:29.

when it came to the World Championships he was found wanting.

:43:30.:43:55.

Larry on the throw, has to take out 103.

:43:56.:44:05.

Two missed doubles in a row? We've not seen that from him yet.

:44:06.:44:25.

His nose is ahead and that is a break of throw. So now it looks as

:44:26.:44:32.

though it will take a miracle for Butler to get back into this.

:44:33.:44:42.

He was pleased with that last dart. With good reason.

:44:43.:44:59.

Averaging over 100, Glen Durrant, with his first nine darts. 96.2

:45:00.:45:03.

overall. Pretty nice. The finishing is not shabby either.

:45:04.:45:21.

Despite those two missed doubles in a row in the last leg, ten from 15,

:45:22.:45:26.

you will take that any day of the week. To write.

:45:27.:45:33.

Has to break the throw. Still not on a finish however. Glen Durrant will

:45:34.:45:56.

have first pop at finishing this. Coming down the board. Very handy

:45:57.:46:09.

indeed, nicely placed. He has miscoded once, make sure you don't

:46:10.:46:17.

do it again Larry. -- miscounted. I don't think he was about to do that.

:46:18.:46:20.

74. 20, Fort Ops. -- for tops. Don't think she will be for the cup

:46:21.:46:45.

that flag before too long. Just as Larry Butler may have

:46:46.:47:08.

sniffed another opportunity Glen Durrant extinguishes those hopes.

:47:09.:47:21.

One more leg for the match. He's only won one all match, Butler.

:47:22.:47:36.

Anything you can do... Matching Butler 's 140 opener. Now he could

:47:37.:47:54.

put him under some pressure. Not lying well, coming down the board.

:47:55.:48:11.

It's not been a tight match, it's not been a close match, it's not

:48:12.:48:18.

been an exciting match but it's been fascinating to watch because of what

:48:19.:48:23.

Len Durrant did principally in the first two sets but is still doing

:48:24.:48:34.

now. Potential 12 dart if he takes out 124 to win the match.

:48:35.:48:57.

It would have been a fitting way to finish.

:48:58.:49:06.

It would have been a fitting way to 93 to keep the match alive.

:49:07.:49:10.

It would have been a fitting way to 19 would leave double 8. Cannot do

:49:11.:49:18.

It would have been a fitting way to it now. 25, for 4-0. The

:49:19.:49:23.

Middlesborough contingent still screaming their support. Their man

:49:24.:49:32.

is very close to the finishing line. Double 8 away. And there it is. I

:49:33.:49:43.

truly sparkling performance from the top seed. He has blown Larry Butler

:49:44.:49:54.

of the oche. -- off. Butler only won one leg. Glen Durrant, the top seed,

:49:55.:49:59.

through to the quarterfinals. And how. Ladies and gentlemen, as he

:50:00.:50:06.

leaves the stage, Larry Butler! But through to the quarterfinals, Glen

:50:07.:50:10.

Durrant! The Butler just got served. Glen

:50:11.:50:36.

Durrant showing why he is the number one seed and the cloud waiting on

:50:37.:50:39.

him hand and foot -- the crowd. When you are not being pushed,

:50:40.:51:02.

coming back from the break and breaking the throw straightaway, to

:51:03.:51:07.

continue to hit in average in the high 90s and check out more than

:51:08.:51:09.

happy double attempts take some going. He played very well, 50% and

:51:10.:51:14.

percent at doubles. All the man from a

:51:15.:51:27.

constantly under pressure. All the the man from a

:51:28.:51:38.

that is what you have got to do. What's the difference

:51:39.:51:41.

that is what you have got to do. months ago? I thought he played

:51:42.:51:52.

really well last year. The more he wins the more confidence he gets.

:51:53.:51:57.

Won the Masters only a month ago and winning all the biggest tournaments

:51:58.:52:01.

in the BDO and playing the same of the way through. The more you

:52:02.:52:09.

in the BDO and playing the same of it is lovely. The more times you

:52:10.:52:13.

stand on this balcony the more times you have won. Let's bring the man

:52:14.:52:19.

himself in. I just asked about the difference between you from now and

:52:20.:52:22.

12 months ago and you are the best man to ask, is just the winning

:52:23.:52:27.

mentality? That game against Martin Adams has been defining moment. I've

:52:28.:52:33.

worked really hard since that game. I feel great on the stage, fantastic

:52:34.:52:38.

to play on it. You just don't want to do feel defeat on the stage this

:52:39.:52:44.

year. I love the way you are saying you want to win, you are the man. I

:52:45.:52:51.

apologise if I come across as arrogant, I don't want that. But the

:52:52.:52:57.

disappointment lasted over a month last year from Martin Adams. It's

:52:58.:53:00.

wonderful to be up there again winning darts. You were consummate

:53:01.:53:06.

up there, never in trouble, all credit to Larry for qualifying and

:53:07.:53:12.

getting back year after 22 years but that was a dominant performance.

:53:13.:53:16.

Assess it yourself, the first set and half of the second set you could

:53:17.:53:23.

not miss. Larry Butler is a legend and will always be on my raise a

:53:24.:53:26.

because I played him in the Masters final but before the match I was

:53:27.:53:30.

practising really well, to get onto the stage. Delighted. You are

:53:31.:53:41.

chastising yourself, it felt like you were in that type of zone.

:53:42.:53:46.

That's a great word, I was in the zone. It's part of the game. Larry

:53:47.:53:53.

is a real legend, but for hand we had a good chat. Afterwards he was

:53:54.:53:56.

fantastic, just talking to them, very chuffed. Looking at that part

:53:57.:54:04.

of the draw, these final parts mean Glen Durrant is waiting for either

:54:05.:54:05.

Scott Thwaites or get divorce. I enjoyed the Brian Dawson game last

:54:06.:54:18.

night. Scott is a grand slam winner and I would

:54:19.:54:32.

be delighted to play against him. The confidence is wonderful, excited

:54:33.:54:37.

every time you step on the stage. You started the programme

:54:38.:54:45.

fantastically, thank you. Let's get onto the women, almost into the

:54:46.:54:49.

quarterfinals as it stands. Just one match which we will get you in a

:54:50.:54:54.

second. If we can sum up the women, shocks everywhere. We have lost

:54:55.:55:09.

Fallon Sherrock. It's been exciting. The Golden girl against the lady who

:55:10.:55:14.

has won the last two titles, it's like the old guard and the new guard

:55:15.:55:18.

coming together. That be interesting. I think we so will win.

:55:19.:55:28.

Trina has been struggling -- I think Lisa will win. Before we concentrate

:55:29.:55:37.

on the court finals we need to concentrate on the last three, one

:55:38.:55:51.

more Place up for grabs. At last, it seems like you have been waiting and

:55:52.:55:55.

age for this match. It's been a long week but I'm enjoying it. Do you

:55:56.:56:00.

think it's better in some ways to be the last of the first-round action?

:56:01.:56:05.

I am not sure, in previous years I played early. And quite happy to be

:56:06.:56:15.

later this time. Semifinalist in 2012, you lost, this could be an

:56:16.:56:21.

opportunity, if you get past this first-round match, to avenge that

:56:22.:56:28.

defeat, is it on your mind? It's not, I take every game as it comes.

:56:29.:56:32.

You take the one in front of you first which is what I focusing on.

:56:33.:56:37.

What about Rachel, what is your gut feeling? I have played her a few

:56:38.:56:44.

times, she is a good friend. We play Yorkshire County together, you

:56:45.:56:46.

cannot underestimate anybody, you have to go in focused and prepare

:56:47.:56:52.

the best you can. How much does it help having been here, knowing they

:56:53.:56:58.

got to the final in 2011, he knows what you're going through? He does,

:56:59.:57:05.

and to be fair it's nice for me to give him the experience which he

:57:06.:57:09.

gives me when I go and support him when he is playing in the PDC. To

:57:10.:57:14.

have him here is everything and I have my girls coming down to support

:57:15.:57:18.

me as well. I'm looking forward to seeing them, it's been a long week

:57:19.:57:23.

without them. Our pull, lament of support and we look forward to

:57:24.:57:27.

seeing your husband jumping up and down on his seat as we know he will.

:57:28.:57:30.

-- full complement of support. She has to push yourself to keep up

:57:31.:57:55.

to his standard. She travels the world. I think this is a real match,

:57:56.:58:05.

I would not like to go either way on it. Sometimes the doubles let them

:58:06.:58:19.

down. Whoever gets the doubles Sharp will win this match but I would not

:58:20.:58:25.

like to see who is going to do it. Lorraine says she doesn't mind

:58:26.:58:28.

settling in and getting herself together, we been here from Friday

:58:29.:58:33.

night, the first games were Saturday 1pm and we are already midweek and

:58:34.:58:38.

she's not throw and dart yet. She's practised. But it's nice to have the

:58:39.:58:45.

atmosphere and meet the people. They don't pester you here. If you come

:58:46.:58:49.

down before your game, you meet everyone, if you come on the day you

:58:50.:58:54.

are going to play, how are you doing, how are your darts? You are

:58:55.:58:56.

not concentrate on what you are doing, but she has had time to get

:58:57.:59:03.

everything in the order and can concentrate on the darts. I think

:59:04.:59:08.

it's a good thing and meet everyone and you can settle. To the oche once

:59:09.:59:12.

more. Ladies and gentlemen this is the

:59:13.:59:26.

2016 Lakeside World Championships and we look to complete the

:59:27.:59:29.

quarterfinal line-up in the ladies competition. Here at the home of

:59:30.:59:39.

world darts, the Lakeside! We now bring to the stage a former Lakeside

:59:40.:59:44.

World Championship semifinalist, a winner of nine world ranking titles,

:59:45.:59:50.

a former British Open champion, the reigning German open champion, it is

:59:51.:59:52.

Lorraine Winstanley! We now welcome a former world

:59:53.:01:00.

Masters finalist, a former Finland open and Turkish open champion, it

:01:01.:01:02.

is Rachel Brooks! win by name but will it be win by

:01:03.:02:02.

nature? Winstanley will give no quarter against Rachel Brooks. To

:02:03.:02:09.

talk us through it, John Rawling and George Riley. COMMENTATOR: Great to

:02:10.:02:14.

have Alan Partridge with is enjoying the darts. I think I spotted Hulk

:02:15.:02:21.

Hogan as well. Looking forward to this, Lorraine Winstanley against

:02:22.:02:26.

Rachel Brooks will stop Winstanley got to the semifinals in 2012.

:02:27.:02:33.

Seeded number six this year, and she has had a good year, she beat Zoe

:02:34.:02:35.

Jones to has had a good year, she beat Zoe

:02:36.:02:45.

three other finals. These are Yorkshire county team-mates. Rachel

:02:46.:02:48.

Brooks, quarterfinal last year, it was an epic as well,

:02:49.:02:55.

Brooks, quarterfinal last year, it end by Sharon Prince. A couple of

:02:56.:03:00.

finals in 2015, the Finnish Masters and Polish Open. John Walton has

:03:01.:03:11.

just popped his head in and he said he can't call this one. Deta Hedman

:03:12.:03:17.

awaits the winner. Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, first set, first leg,

:03:18.:03:28.

Lorraine to throw first, game on. Lorraine Winstanley with the darts,

:03:29.:03:31.

getting the action underway. Best Lorraine Winstanley with the darts,

:03:32.:03:38.

three sets. There is Dean Winstanley, Lorraine's husband,

:03:39.:03:44.

ranked 29th in the PDC world rankings right now.

:03:45.:04:07.

This is for the final quarterfinal place. All four quarterfinals on

:04:08.:04:14.

Thursday. For the last three place. All four quarterfinals on

:04:15.:04:24.

Lorraine Winstanley has gone out in the first round and she will be

:04:25.:04:28.

wanting to put that run to an end. She is the number six seed here.

:04:29.:04:38.

Rachel Brooks is number nine in the BDO rankings. She is a Doncaster

:04:39.:04:49.

lass, Rachel. Lorraine and Dean have lived in Buxton for the last five

:04:50.:04:53.

years or so. Steady start from Winstanley.

:04:54.:05:20.

Four straight tonnes for Lorraine Winstanley. You would take that

:05:21.:05:29.

every time. She will come back with 101 for the first leg. If she gets

:05:30.:05:39.

this checkout, she will be improving her average. Treble 20 would have

:05:40.:05:45.

left double 19. 109 for Rachel Brooks. Plenty of

:05:46.:06:00.

fancy dress and outrageous headwear, wigs and goodness knows what. I saw

:06:01.:06:10.

a bloke who looked like Roy Wood out of Wizard. That is a seriously bad

:06:11.:06:18.

shirt that Dean is wearing! Those are his daughters with him, I wonder

:06:19.:06:23.

what they make of it! To strike first...

:06:24.:06:32.

68 to take the leg against the throw. Lorraine can hardly bring

:06:33.:06:49.

herself to watch. Tops. Good finishing, 68 checkout for a leg

:06:50.:06:53.

against the throw. And a leg she was never really in.

:06:54.:07:09.

100, 100, 100, 100 from Winstanley but not able to take it out.

:07:10.:07:32.

Scoring is not the problem. It was where it went wrong when she put in

:07:33.:07:43.

those four tonnes in the first place, including a couple of missed

:07:44.:07:45.

doubles. A wry smile, that was not far away

:07:46.:08:00.

from 140. There is Ann-Louise Peters who will play Zoe Jones in the

:08:01.:08:03.

quarterfinals. Peters knocked out Fallon Sherrock, one of the big

:08:04.:08:12.

favourites. She threw very well. She put Fallon right out of her rhythm.

:08:13.:08:33.

If you were wondering where she was, panic over! In safe hands here at

:08:34.:08:45.

the Lakeside. Get yourself down here as well, Vern.

:08:46.:09:07.

Lorraine Winstanley is in a great place here to break straight back

:09:08.:09:17.

after 100, 140, and 81. This is good throwing.

:09:18.:09:32.

That's the issue can hit her doubles this time. How many treble 1s has

:09:33.:09:46.

she hit in this leg? Far too many. Tops to break back. Averaging north

:09:47.:09:54.

of 90, 94 from Winstanley but it is the doubles that have caused the

:09:55.:10:03.

trouble. She needs to settle down, she can't afford to let this get

:10:04.:10:12.

into her head. Zero out of five now. Brooks is way back, though. Surely

:10:13.:10:13.

she will not make a hash of this. So, attempt number six at 44

:10:14.:10:32.

Lorraine Winstanley. Double 5. And the chance goes again. This is

:10:33.:10:42.

starting to get damaging. 169, no checkout of course.

:10:43.:10:53.

Yet another treble 1. I think a fifth of the leg. Double 2. Where

:10:54.:11:05.

has that gone? The 10th throw at double finally

:11:06.:11:24.

lands and we are back on serve. I think there would have been a quiet

:11:25.:11:27.

thank goodness for that when she got that in. Her game is really good

:11:28.:11:33.

apart from her doubles. You could see that from the different in the

:11:34.:11:43.

averages, Winstanley averaging 79. But the first nine darts, she is

:11:44.:11:49.

just shy of 107. It is the doubles that have been damaging.

:11:50.:12:03.

Outstanding again. Scoring really heavily.

:12:04.:12:27.

Nice bit of headwear. Not sure it fits!

:12:28.:12:40.

We ought to have a Lakeside ladies day. Good hat, I like that one.

:12:41.:12:59.

That is not quite so good. I think he might have been here a couple of

:13:00.:13:10.

hours already! That was an excellent dart.

:13:11.:13:23.

Absolutely, 74 when she comes back. Lorraine Winstanley has not been

:13:24.:13:28.

able to get a double for love nor money. She is throwing a tidy game

:13:29.:13:35.

and this would put her ahead for the first time. Single 20 to leave tops.

:13:36.:13:45.

First time this time! She is a good player at her best,

:13:46.:14:01.

Lorraine, former winner of the British Open and Scottish Open, the

:14:02.:14:07.

Welsh Masters and the Gold cup. She won the German Open this year and

:14:08.:14:12.

three more ranking competitions won the German Open this year and

:14:13.:14:18.

well. There is her practice partner, Dean.

:14:19.:14:27.

Two daughters sitting watching as well, they gave mum a big hug as she

:14:28.:14:37.

made her way in on the walk to the stage.

:14:38.:14:46.

She is a long-suffering wife of a major, major petrol head! You

:14:47.:14:55.

wondered what I was going to save them, didn't you? I did! -- going to

:14:56.:15:01.

say. He has some sort of monstrous

:15:02.:15:12.

Vauxhall which churns out something like 400 odd brake horsepower.

:15:13.:15:21.

Correct me if I'm wrong but was that not Lorraine Winstanley's first 180

:15:22.:15:27.

here since 2012? I will leave you to that but it might well be the fact.

:15:28.:15:33.

You want to sit around swotting up that sort of statistic, go for it! I

:15:34.:15:39.

am going to stick to my guns, I think it was.

:15:40.:15:48.

Going for a major anorak sponsorship, George Riley. 167 then.

:15:49.:16:06.

This would be as good as a maximum. Still behind in this leg. 137 for

:16:07.:16:14.

Rachel Brooks. This do hold. -- to hold. Single 18

:16:15.:16:38.

to set it up now. Hot favourite to win this one. Lorraine Winstanley,

:16:39.:16:53.

158. Good start. I don't think that is in, no. The facial expression

:16:54.:16:55.

tells you. But a good leave. One out of one. So far. Not this

:16:56.:17:24.

time. Tops. Neatly done. John Walton was spot on when he said that it was

:17:25.:17:31.

a really difficult one to pick. Very well matched players. Lorraine

:17:32.:17:39.

Winstanley throwing very well but she is being held, she is averaging

:17:40.:17:46.

84.3 three. Lisa Ashton's average in the final last year was less than

:17:47.:17:56.

that. -- 84.33. That is more like it from Rachel. 11th darts. -- 11.

:17:57.:18:18.

Lorraine looking like she will have first crack at the finish.

:18:19.:19:00.

Good, solid darts. Rachel Brooks is on a finish. That is two in.

:19:01.:19:15.

Excellent 140. 161 for the first set. That is the

:19:16.:19:25.

one. She has missed treble 13. Checking

:19:26.:19:53.

where the score is. Now she can do no more than leave something decent.

:19:54.:19:58.

All the 20s for Rachel Brooks. To take the first set, having been

:19:59.:20:11.

heavily outscored. The one again. It's not going to happen. It wasn't

:20:12.:20:24.

the best, was it? Lorraine Winstanley, 56 to take the opening

:20:25.:20:33.

set, tops again. Good darts. Lorraine Winstanley takes a tight

:20:34.:20:36.

opening set. She takes it 3-2. Come on, Rachel, was the shout from

:20:37.:21:01.

the audience. Third Lakeside, ranked number nine in the world.

:21:02.:21:10.

Both of them Yorkshire county players of course. They know each

:21:11.:21:14.

other, and their games, inside out. Good darts. No doubt that the

:21:15.:21:40.

women's game is improving, there is no earthly reason why the women

:21:41.:21:46.

should not be throwing as well as the men. Time will come.

:21:47.:22:11.

Good afternoon, Robin. Just taking a break from saving the world with a

:22:12.:22:23.

glass of something cooling and watching the darts. Even superheroes

:22:24.:22:26.

need some downtime. We have had a Darth Vader here, I

:22:27.:22:40.

thought we might have had Chewbacca, but not yet. It would be a brave man

:22:41.:22:49.

or woman to come in that costume. Given how hot it can get in here. My

:22:50.:22:54.

little lad would be very impressed if he turned up.

:22:55.:23:06.

Winstanley waiting on 157, having taken the first set. Let's see what

:23:07.:23:17.

she can make of it, against the throw. No checkout for Brooks. In a

:23:18.:23:36.

good place now. Can Brooks pressure the throw? Not if she keeps hitting

:23:37.:23:37.

one. This is to take an advantage in the

:23:38.:23:58.

second set. The winner will play Deta Hedman in the next round.

:23:59.:24:04.

This is to hold. She will be down for 19s. Treble 19 would leave a

:24:05.:24:20.

shot at bullseye. It will be Winstanley coming back.

:24:21.:24:39.

Good darts. And she has broken the throw. She has outgrown Rachel

:24:40.:25:00.

Brooks here, Lorraine Winstanley -- out-thrown. She is starting to motor

:25:01.:25:11.

now as well. That looked a bit like Steve Smith, the old high jumper.

:25:12.:25:16.

Surely not, dressed like that at the darts! He will be pleased with you!

:25:17.:25:27.

He always was a skinny type. He is a good lad, Steve, he will see the

:25:28.:25:38.

funny side. I hope! That is former high jumpers, Sheffield Wednesday

:25:39.:25:41.

fans, your list is getting quite long and it is only Wednesday! I

:25:42.:25:47.

just have to rely on the hope that people have a sense of humour!

:25:48.:25:56.

Plenty of that at the darts. Scottish contingent.

:25:57.:26:06.

The scoring has just dipped from Winstanley. The first nine dart

:26:07.:26:16.

average, which had been over a ton, now down at 94.

:26:17.:26:38.

Good shot, that second underneath. Dean appreciating his

:26:39.:26:45.

wife's efforts. This is more like it. She is on to a

:26:46.:27:22.

finish. And Rachel Brooks is struggling a bit up there, three

:27:23.:27:31.

visits of 40 in this leg. This may be another one. 116 to make it

:27:32.:27:47.

visits of 40 in this leg. This may already once set up. A nice, solid

:27:48.:27:53.

60, she is well clear. Yes, nothing by way of pressure

:27:54.:27:57.

60, she is well clear. Yes, nothing Rachel Brooks at the moment. Need a

:27:58.:28:18.

treble. 56 then, 16 for tops. And beautifully done. 2-0 and she is one

:28:19.:28:27.

leg away from victory now. She has thrown well today, George. She has

:28:28.:28:33.

thrown really well. Brooks is struggling, but Winstanley's darts

:28:34.:28:42.

have been relentless. Still above 80. And she is hitting the doubles

:28:43.:28:51.

now. On this sort of form, she is going to give Deta Hedman an

:28:52.:28:56.

argument. Second maximum of the match.

:28:57.:29:12.

And closing in on a win. That was the first 180.

:29:13.:29:23.

A stifled smile as there were some pantomime boos from the crowd. I

:29:24.:29:38.

think Dean knows that the winning line is poised to arrive here.

:29:39.:29:53.

Good darts again. She is on a finish now. And certainly not looking as

:29:54.:30:08.

though the wheels are about to fly off any time soon. Brooks is just

:30:09.:30:14.

not scoring heavily enough to put any pressure on.

:30:15.:30:21.

For the match. That is the one. Good last dart.

:30:22.:30:37.

Lorraine Winstanley gathers her thoughts knowing that she will have

:30:38.:30:47.

three shots at tops, she has hit three of seven at double top so far

:30:48.:30:52.

and the next visit will be for a place in the quarter final.

:30:53.:31:05.

Lorraine Winstanley ultimately winning that very comfortably. 2-0.

:31:06.:31:12.

The family congratulate her. The crowd enjoyed it. On that form she

:31:13.:31:20.

will take a bit of beating. Ladies and gentlemen let's hear it for both

:31:21.:31:25.

players as they leave the stage, Rachel Brooks and through to the

:31:26.:31:29.

quarterfinals, Lorraine Winstanley! CHEERING

:31:30.:31:50.

That is the player we know in terms of scoring average, average of

:31:51.:31:58.

almost 85, the first nine dart average just under the tonne.

:31:59.:32:18.

Lisa Ashton, I am mixing up all the names, we give her so much credit

:32:19.:32:24.

for how she has played in the last couple of years, coming off big

:32:25.:32:29.

games with big finishes, averaging between 82 and 87, taking out a

:32:30.:32:33.

third of doubles and that is what we just support from Lorraine

:32:34.:32:39.

Winstanley. That scoring was like, I mean, the darts did not wonder, nice

:32:40.:32:46.

and straight. The only thing was, a bit scrappy on the doubles. When she

:32:47.:32:50.

got settled in and was hitting the doubles she really, really good game

:32:51.:32:57.

of darts. Ended up hitting one out of every three doubles, at one stage

:32:58.:33:06.

it was down at ten, 12% so it shows she got better and better. Average

:33:07.:33:10.

84, if she had hit the doubles that average would have been higher. She

:33:11.:33:20.

played really solid darts. Never in trouble, let's bring her end, what a

:33:21.:33:29.

performance, just saying, post-84 average, almost 101st nine dart

:33:30.:33:34.

average, 33% of checkouts, you will take that? Every time. I have lost

:33:35.:33:44.

my voice, I am squeaking! Does shouting at your husband do that?

:33:45.:33:50.

All the time. You are in the batch of players that we think it she

:33:51.:33:56.

plays like we know she can play, she might win the title. I am very

:33:57.:34:04.

pleased with how I have played today. I put the work in and it paid

:34:05.:34:10.

off today. On to the next. I think it is amazing you have come to do

:34:11.:34:14.

this interview because you are properly Marge Simpson at the

:34:15.:34:19.

moment. Save your voice. Everyone knows how respected she is but she

:34:20.:34:23.

had to turn it on the stage and she has done that, we cannot talk about

:34:24.:34:29.

her as an outsider. No, you played lovely, darling. The scoring was

:34:30.:34:34.

great. Finishing a bit Mickey Mouse in the first set. I have to work on

:34:35.:34:40.

that. If you practice on that and scorer like you're scoring you will

:34:41.:34:44.

take some stopping. With that being such a good performance do you feel

:34:45.:34:49.

there is more to come? Absolutely, if I can get my finishing in check I

:34:50.:34:54.

am one to watch. This is the first time in a long time that I am here

:34:55.:34:59.

to prove I can actually do this. Let's show you your final darts, you

:35:00.:35:08.

did get it going in the end. I love Rachel Brooks, I was watching her

:35:09.:35:16.

yesterday, she looked, it felt like you had control, that must have felt

:35:17.:35:23.

good? We share runs at county and on tour so it is hard to play your

:35:24.:35:27.

friends, but we are all friends here. It was hard. We need more

:35:28.:35:37.

enemies! Absolutely! Let's look at the quarterfinal draw. Playing

:35:38.:35:46.

against Srinath, it feels like old school against, Trina, who has won

:35:47.:35:55.

so many titles. It's hard to call. But Lisa has to deal confident.

:35:56.:36:07.

Absolutely. She toppled the girl we thought everyone had to be tears she

:36:08.:36:13.

will be full of confidence. -- everyone had to beat so she will be.

:36:14.:36:27.

And Louise, an upset in the last 16, she will be full of confidence. And

:36:28.:36:36.

we will mention it, Deta has won so many titles this year, but on that

:36:37.:36:43.

stage, you will hope the curse strikes again. I just want to keep

:36:44.:36:48.

play like I am, sort out my finishing, and we will put on a good

:36:49.:36:53.

game. Thank you for talking to us, we will move onto the men, next on

:36:54.:36:59.

the stage, Wesley Harms against Jim Williams. We go back to the first

:37:00.:37:04.

darts on Saturday. I didn't know how to take it, I was nervous. The last

:37:05.:37:10.

time I played there I got whipped so I'd and want that to happen again. I

:37:11.:37:13.

was pleased with how I played because I did not want to take in

:37:14.:37:17.

the crowd too much. I was happy with that. But at the same time a few

:37:18.:37:25.

times I needed a good shot, was scoring 60, hitting a few wires, a

:37:26.:37:28.

lot of bounce outs which didn't help which add to my nerves but I got

:37:29.:37:32.

there in the end. Got double when it mattered. Another treble 20, for

:37:33.:37:36.

double ten, matched dart for mattered. Another treble 20, for

:37:37.:37:39.

Williams. What are we to do it. -- mattered. Another treble 20, for

:37:40.:37:47.

what a way to do it. Maybe mentally I have had more

:37:48.:37:53.

what a way to do it. Maybe mentally practised more at home, you can't

:37:54.:37:56.

practice here, not properly so I think going away has helped me. I

:37:57.:38:00.

can be fully and are very average but when it is going well it does go

:38:01.:38:02.

I was watching it from well.

:38:03.:38:14.

I was watching it from probably five years old.

:38:15.:38:16.

I was watching it from really keen on it

:38:17.:38:18.

I was watching it from day he would be on it and win get.

:38:19.:38:23.

For me to do it is brilliant. I never would have expected it but

:38:24.:38:26.

For me to do it is brilliant. I you are in it and I have

For me to do it is brilliant. I big tournaments, winning the World

he in his 30s, he looks about 19. This is Wesley Harms who has reached

:38:41.:38:44.

back-to-back semifinals the first two years he was here in 2012 and

:38:45.:38:51.

2013. Last night went to five sets, playing last night, playing again

:38:52.:38:55.

this afternoon, the last match on, and this is not triathlon so we

:38:56.:39:01.

should be all right? I would rather do that. Winning last night and

:39:02.:39:02.

playing this afternoon, you don't do that. Winning last night and

:39:03.:39:06.

have to build yourself up for the do that. Winning last night and

:39:07.:39:10.

game again. Let's, practising together, that is interesting, don't

:39:11.:39:18.

often see that. Some people do. You just want to frighten your opponent.

:39:19.:39:26.

Just go for double 3 and he thinks you are no good! Sparky

:39:27.:39:32.

Just go for double 3 and he thinks in a blaze of glory, beaten on both

:39:33.:39:40.

occasions by Tony O'Shea. He was very studious back then, very quiet,

:39:41.:39:45.

would ask us for DVDs of the matches. Maybe got a bit, became

:39:46.:39:57.

more sociable. This is the old Wesley, he spends most of his time

:39:58.:40:00.

with his partner, and he is physically fitter as well I notice.

:40:01.:40:06.

He seems to have his focus back. He loves his darts. He talks about it.

:40:07.:40:13.

You cannot have a conversation with them that is not about darts. But he

:40:14.:40:19.

gets down. When he loses our game or a set he bit his head down and socks

:40:20.:40:25.

a bit. Jim, I don't know, I've not seen him in that position. But if

:40:26.:40:31.

Jim gets in front and lets the other guy puts his head down then you lose

:40:32.:40:34.

because he thinks he should win every game. In this format you

:40:35.:40:40.

cannot win quickly. You have to play good darts. Some guys try to push

:40:41.:40:45.

the game so they get it over with. But best of seven, nice and easy,

:40:46.:40:50.

throw as you practice, the panic. Don't look at the other guy. Like

:40:51.:40:58.

that. Let's get back down to someone who is always calm and composed.

:40:59.:41:08.

Ladies and gentlemen this is the 2016 BDO World Championships and we

:41:09.:41:13.

are here at the home of world darts, the Lakeside! We now introduced the

:41:14.:41:22.

reigning Antwerp open and Turkish open champion. From Wales, the

:41:23.:41:28.

reigning World Cup singles champion, Jim Williams!

:41:29.:41:34.

we now introduced, from the Netherlands, a twice Lakeside World

:41:35.:42:32.

Championship semifinalist and the former World Cup singles champion,

:42:33.:42:38.

the reigning German Masters and England open champion, Sparky,

:42:39.:42:39.

Wesley Harms! good to have two guitar -based walk

:42:40.:43:29.

on chins. We'll Jim Williams become the baby faced assassin? It seems

:43:30.:43:39.

nobody knows, let's find out. COMMENTATOR: If you've been with us

:43:40.:43:43.

all the way since the opening match on Saturday afternoon and are having

:43:44.:43:48.

a look at that man on the stage, the man in the raid top, the man from

:43:49.:43:55.

Wales, the man seeded 12, and wondering who is that, have we seen

:43:56.:44:00.

him before? You could be forgiven for thinking that because you last

:44:01.:44:03.

saw him at 1pm on Saturday afternoon. That is when Jim Williams

:44:04.:44:09.

last played and beat Tony O'Shea in the first round. Here he is again,

:44:10.:44:16.

many hours and days later, playing his second round match. If you have

:44:17.:44:22.

been with us since Saturday afternoon and were with us last

:44:23.:44:27.

night, you will recognise the other bloke on stage, the tall, thin

:44:28.:44:31.

Dutchmen Wesley Harms. Twice a semifinalist of course but he only

:44:32.:44:32.

played last night. Stand-by for a very match. Two young

:44:33.:44:54.

players really at the helm. This is anyone's match, should be very even.

:44:55.:45:08.

I was speaking to Wesley a few moments ago backstage and he says he

:45:09.:45:16.

does everything the same every day he is here. Gets up at the same

:45:17.:45:22.

time, brushes his teeth at the same time, get stressed that the same

:45:23.:45:26.

time, breakfast at the same time. The only things he does different on

:45:27.:45:32.

a match day is he does not go swimming because it makes his hands

:45:33.:45:37.

feel slippery. He thinks it affects his darts. It has helped him anyway

:45:38.:45:41.

and so far... Wesley Harms, nicknamed Sparky. The

:45:42.:45:52.

number five seed. Had a great victory over England's

:45:53.:46:22.

Tony O'Shea. A young lad. Plays his county darts.

:46:23.:46:34.

This would be a fine way to start. Unlucky! A better finish here for

:46:35.:46:59.

Williams. Could go for bullseye. Tops.

:47:00.:47:07.

They have both missed tops of low with one dart. There is the double

:47:08.:47:19.

10 which secures the first leg for Wesley Harms. First came here as the

:47:20.:47:29.

13th seed in 2012. Reached the semifinals. Almost the first maximum

:47:30.:47:38.

of the match from Jim Williams. Wesley Harms lost that semifinal 6-5

:47:39.:47:42.

to Tony O'Shea who he beat on Saturday. Next year he came back and

:47:43.:47:48.

met Guess who? And lost that 6-4, Tony O'Shea. But Wesley has

:47:49.:47:55.

disappointed the last couple of times he's been here. Tony Eccles

:47:56.:48:01.

beat him in 2014 and he was a first-round loser as the eighth seed

:48:02.:48:10.

last year. Jim Williams, tongue with his first six darts.

:48:11.:48:16.

Young and old, they are out today. Oh yes! Wants the finish.

:48:17.:48:33.

Despite that 177, he could not believe a finish. Wesley Harms. That

:48:34.:48:45.

one was going for the 25 and CHEERING AND BOOING

:48:46.:49:00.

treble 18. One more dart at double top. Yes.

:49:01.:49:25.

Wesley at the helm at the moment, the first two legs. Straight into

:49:26.:49:34.

the treble 19. Not once but twice. Talk about Wesley Harms Lakeside

:49:35.:49:51.

pedigree, this is only a second visit here for Jim Williams. Did not

:49:52.:49:58.

win set last year in the first round. Again seeded, 16. He will

:49:59.:50:06.

feel an awful lot better about life. Having won the opening match of the

:50:07.:50:10.

championship on Saturday afternoon. And he had a few days to bask in his

:50:11.:50:12.

glory. Leaves the finish. Almost took it

:50:13.:50:50.

out in the first leg of the match. If he can do it now he will win the

:50:51.:50:57.

first set remember first 24-mac sets in the second round. Cannot know

:50:58.:51:08.

finish finish but will be back. Still on 270, Williams. Needs to get

:51:09.:51:10.

his arm in focus. He was saying he Still on 270, Williams. Needs to get

:51:11.:51:17.

can be very, very good or very, very average. Sometimes in the same

:51:18.:51:24.

match. Treble 19 would have left a double 19 but doesn't matter. Again,

:51:25.:51:32.

Wesley will be back. He will be back for double 8. That is better. But

:51:33.:51:44.

this is set point. And it goes. In the blink of an eye Wesley Harms

:51:45.:51:50.

takes the first set. He's got a look about him.

:51:51.:51:55.

takes the first set. He's got a look he used to be an electrician. If

:51:56.:52:03.

you'll forgive the pun he really has let up Lakeside on occasion. I like

:52:04.:52:04.

it. Don't switch off. Like Bobby was saying, if things

:52:05.:52:23.

start to go against him, he can let his head drop. He can be on a short

:52:24.:52:31.

fuse sometimes! CHUCKLES But he's a good frontrunner. Wesley.

:52:32.:52:43.

Sometimes when things go close that is when you can get at him. The

:52:44.:52:56.

great Welshman Leighton Rees won the first world title in 1978. An

:52:57.:53:03.

ambassador for the sport. This young man could carry it on. Three Welsh

:53:04.:53:10.

men in all have won the championship. Leighton Rees, Richie

:53:11.:53:16.

Burnett in 1995 and Mark Webster in 2008. So Jim would become the

:53:17.:53:27.

fourth. But first things first, let win this set. Don't want to let

:53:28.:53:31.

Wesley Harms get clear daylight between you and him on the

:53:32.:53:32.

scoreboard. Treble 17 the shot. 142 for Jim

:53:33.:53:50.

Williams. Could do with this to hold his throw but he won't take it out

:53:51.:53:59.

this time. 72 for a fourth leg in a row. He's done this before. OK, Jim,

:54:00.:54:14.

take it away. 20, double 16. Double 8. Got to get it and he has. Well

:54:15.:54:25.

done. He is on the board. Crucially holding his throw and winning his

:54:26.:54:34.

first leg of the match. Looks very determined. It has lightened up

:54:35.:54:40.

anyway, that double. Here we go, yes! The first maximum

:54:41.:55:05.

of the match. They are still cheering it. They are

:55:06.:55:28.

enjoying it and so they should. Two youngsters. This is to break the

:55:29.:55:40.

throw. No, not this time. What a good last dart. Treble 14. Treble

:55:41.:55:45.

13... Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. And that chance now to level the

:55:46.:56:08.

match. Some noise from the audience. He is back, you can tell from his

:56:09.:56:29.

body language, can't you, Jim Williams. Hitting the double 8 in

:56:30.:56:38.

the first leg of this set did him the power of good.

:56:39.:56:45.

Good marker. Seems to be rushing. Have you noticed? You can get quick.

:56:46.:57:18.

Just trying to chase a bit of rhythm. Maybe the nerves from the

:57:19.:57:32.

youngster, Jim Williams. We'll be on an outshot Abdullah swung. -- after

:57:33.:57:44.

this one. Did not see him after his match, he had himself away in the

:57:45.:57:45.

private players room. This to break back. His finishing

:57:46.:57:51.

has been excellent. Saves this set. Seeming to fall forward, not

:57:52.:58:32.

balanced there. Look at this, more direct. Now look at this. The back

:58:33.:58:41.

leg comes up, sometimes shakes him off-balance.

:58:42.:59:27.

The OK... He won't be finishing now. Chance for Jim Williams.

:59:28.:59:42.

I thought that was in. To save the set. Yes, another terrific finish.

:59:43.:00:05.

Jim the Turkish and Antwerp open champion. Number 12 seed this year.

:00:06.:00:13.

Look at those checkouts, five out of eight for Wesley Harms. Yes, very

:00:14.:00:21.

consistent on the finishing. Right back he can be and he is today. He

:00:22.:00:29.

has been around a long time. He's only been punished once for a Mr

:00:30.:00:37.

double. -- missed. Into a deciding leg. So far it's a good set for Jim

:00:38.:00:43.

Williams. And no response, as yet, from Wesley

:00:44.:01:04.

Harms. 139 ahead plus these. What a good leg here. It is a long time

:01:05.:01:14.

since I've seen that, four hundreds on the trot. Doesn't need it this

:01:15.:01:19.

visit. He feels the pain but no out shot.

:01:20.:01:26.

For Wesley Harms. Early on it looked like Wesley Harms

:01:27.:02:03.

would run away with this. But well played, Jim Williams, he hung in

:02:04.:02:08.

there in the second set and look at this.

:02:09.:02:17.

there in the second set and look at Wesley with the ton, Jim with the

:02:18.:02:18.

140. He went for double 16 tops,

:02:19.:02:52.

furiously. -- He has left the door open but he

:02:53.:03:20.

needed the treble. Double 8 to steal this one. His dad,

:03:21.:04:11.

Dave, loves that. And that was Natalie applauding on the

:04:12.:04:16.

Dave, loves that. And that was they loved that. And he has got the

:04:17.:04:22.

advantage. And that is a good advantage.

:04:23.:04:26.

Wesley had his chances. But Jim kept his cool, back again

:04:27.:04:44.

He is the sort of player, Jim Williams, when he gets on a roll, he

:04:45.:04:56.

can just run away with matches. And you can bet your bottom dollar the

:04:57.:05:00.

adrenaline is coursing through his veins right now. He absolutely

:05:01.:05:04.

nicked that leg. Grand theft oche. Nothing in the scoring. It is the

:05:05.:05:24.

finishing that is counting. Not much in it either way. One set piece.

:05:25.:05:34.

Williams leading this one by that extraordinary leg. Yes, treble 19.

:05:35.:05:41.

Double 12. Oh! Hit the wire! It is all happening. Double 6. He

:05:42.:06:04.

wants to make sure he wins it now. No. Headaches for his family. Double

:06:05.:06:13.

top. This is no fun. Double 1. They call

:06:14.:06:33.

it the madhouse. No. Double 10. It's all happening. He won't finish. Back

:06:34.:06:41.

comes Williams. He has put the pressure on Harms. My

:06:42.:07:12.

goodness me. He missed seven doubles, Jim Williams, before

:07:13.:07:19.

hitting that double 1. Wesley Harms must be kicking himself but right

:07:20.:07:24.

now it is Williams with all the momentum. Really having a go. He

:07:25.:07:39.

might go for trouble 18. Yes. -- treble 18. It is not happening for

:07:40.:07:44.

Wesley. There is a short, three-minute or

:07:45.:07:59.

so, break after this set. Not a very nice throw there but he still has

:08:00.:08:06.

the advantage. Even though he has hit 57 and 27 with his last two

:08:07.:08:18.

throws. The marker is good. Even if he doesn't take this leg, he will be

:08:19.:08:23.

throwing first in the next to wrap up the set against the darts. It is

:08:24.:08:34.

not happening for Wesley. And 178 is not a finish.

:08:35.:08:42.

This would be the highest of the championship. Would have been. But

:08:43.:09:01.

he can take a big chunk out of it. He went for the bull. Can't finish.

:09:02.:09:09.

This is for the set. Double 8. Double 4. Oh! Wesley is still in it.

:09:10.:09:25.

Tops for Wesley Harms and he needs it. He is not hitting his doubles

:09:26.:09:38.

like he was in the first set. That is a huge sigh of relief. What a

:09:39.:09:45.

great leg of the arts but not for Jim Williams. -- leg of darts. It is

:09:46.:09:51.

absorbing for the crowd. Jim Williams had two macro darts for

:09:52.:10:03.

the set in the last leg. But this time round he has the darts.

:10:04.:10:22.

Needs to get over the top, well done. Wesley Harms needs to do more

:10:23.:10:44.

than that. Can't make his mind up. Thinking,

:10:45.:10:52.

what shall I do? He did well. It's a finish. 82 for Jim Williams.

:10:53.:11:48.

What can he do? Double 16. For the set, yes! Jim Williams takes charge

:11:49.:11:58.

of this second round match at Lakeside, coming from one set down

:11:59.:12:01.

and now leading 2-1. STUDIO: Cagey first couple of sets

:12:02.:12:06.

as we take a short break. What a man to fill any break, Mr

:12:07.:12:27.

Bobby George. We said earlier that when he played as he was earlier,

:12:28.:12:32.

Lorraine Winstanley showed the health of women starts, so by the

:12:33.:12:37.

same token of honesty, not a huge amount to get excited by, I have

:12:38.:12:41.

never seen Wesley score so badly. He doesn't seem settled. The pace of

:12:42.:12:48.

the game is the same. It's like a train going up the hill. The scoring

:12:49.:12:54.

is almost identical. The finishing was a bit scruffy

:12:55.:12:58.

and got better but not an exciting game. There is no explosion in it.

:12:59.:13:02.

Absolutely, it's like a metronome game. There is no explosion in it.

:13:03.:13:09.

the rhythm and grabbing it by the scruff of the neck. Nothing really

:13:10.:13:18.

exciting. It is boring in a way. But by that token, Jim deserves his lead

:13:19.:13:24.

after going behind. There were two finishes in particular, the start of

:13:25.:13:31.

the third set, he had to get it done, not the biggest out shot but

:13:32.:13:38.

doing it in two darts. That was the little edge that put him in the

:13:39.:13:45.

lead. Wesley can get a bit sulky if he goes behind. He needs to start

:13:46.:13:52.

easing up a bit. He has to play as he did when he started because he

:13:53.:13:56.

played OK. But he does get like that. You can get at him if you get

:13:57.:14:04.

in front of him. Jim should do that, he definitely has the demeanour of

:14:05.:14:09.

someone who is used to playing here. He wants to get on with the game. He

:14:10.:14:17.

is up and down the oche. He is that fast, he wants to get on with it

:14:18.:14:18.

quick. I would slow fast, he wants to get on with it

:14:19.:14:31.

is what they need, but it fast, he wants to get on with it

:14:32.:14:34.

to be close. Wesley doesn't have to fast, he wants to get on with it

:14:35.:14:36.

do a huge amount to get back in it. Every time there is a break, it can

:14:37.:14:41.

help you if you are not playing so well. Grab a hold of yourself? They

:14:42.:14:47.

do, they have a break and they think about what they are doing, they come

:14:48.:14:50.

out and play better so let's hope they both play better

:14:51.:14:56.

out and play better so let's hope competitive game. If you are just

:14:57.:14:59.

joining us, thank you for doing so. Let's have a look at the last 16

:15:00.:15:05.

draw for the men's championship. Scott Waites against Geert De Vos is

:15:06.:15:11.

one to look forward to. Tomorrow afternoon we have Lisa Ashton

:15:12.:15:17.

against Trina Gulliver and Scott Mitchell against Mark McGeeney. Not

:15:18.:15:23.

many people will know much about Mark but you can fancy he can take

:15:24.:15:28.

Scott closer than most people think. I think he can. He is steady but I

:15:29.:15:35.

think he could do it. That is tomorrow, let's concentrate on this

:15:36.:15:38.

afternoon and get back to the stage, both players are coming back out,

:15:39.:15:40.

Jim Williams 2-1 up. both players are coming back out,

:15:41.:15:48.

COMMENTATOR: You just never both players are coming back out,

:15:49.:15:56.

you? That break could change everything. We have seen it happen

:15:57.:16:06.

before. It is the first to four sets who will win through to the

:16:07.:16:12.

quarterfinals. Will Jim Williams Hammer home his hard-fought

:16:13.:16:20.

advantage? He in Leeds 2-1. -- he is leading 2-1.

:16:21.:16:28.

Straight to the oche, off we go. 2-1 Jim Williams.

:16:29.:16:45.

Unlike Wesley Harms, Jim struggled when he first played on that stage

:16:46.:16:56.

12 months ago. He only won one leg. He did not hit a 180. He was kind of

:16:57.:17:03.

cross with himself when he came off stage. It was important for him,

:17:04.:17:12.

first up on Saturday afternoon, to make a good account of himself

:17:13.:17:18.

against Tony O'Shea. He has done that, and again, in this match, he

:17:19.:17:23.

has found a way back into the match. Having lost the first set badly. He

:17:24.:17:32.

is enjoying himself now. Good marker for another. He is on a finish, 101.

:17:33.:17:46.

Remember that he is winning 2-1 at the moment. He took out 140 to beat

:17:47.:17:55.

Tony O'Shea and 82 in the last leg. But not this time are no big one.

:17:56.:18:09.

OK, Wesley. Double 8. Yes! What a brilliant outshot under pressure. It

:18:10.:18:21.

has got that sort of feel about it. It could be close, this one. I am

:18:22.:18:28.

getting excited. It's brilliant, I like it. He will come down. You are

:18:29.:18:43.

right, sometimes when perhaps the standard of scoring and finishing is

:18:44.:18:47.

not the highest, if it is a decent scrap, it's really entertaining in

:18:48.:18:54.

its own right. Sometimes more exciting. It's a bit like Welshman

:18:55.:19:04.

Alun Evans when he played. Excitement? He did everything.

:19:05.:19:33.

It was a great Welshman, Leighton Rees, who won the first world title.

:19:34.:19:43.

Won't finish now. Still a lot to do for Jim Williams to win this leg.

:19:44.:20:07.

Yes! This is great finishing from Wesley Harms. We saw it in the first

:20:08.:20:21.

set. He likes the bull. He lost it for a while but he seems to have

:20:22.:20:32.

rediscovered, Sparky has got his spark back. It looks like we going

:20:33.:20:37.

all the way, 2-0 in this set to Wesley Harms.

:20:38.:20:44.

He is in it again, this is a good leg. Three tonnes on the trot, 104

:20:45.:21:28.

left. Yes. 12, double 16. Just on the

:21:29.:21:50.

inside. Chance for Wesley. This is for the set.

:21:51.:22:04.

Double 8. Come on, one to go. Yes! Of the barrel but who cares? -- off

:22:05.:22:19.

the barrel. Wesley likes to get on with it.

:22:20.:22:36.

Having taken out 96 and 81 in the first two legs of the set, we were

:22:37.:22:41.

slightly surprised Wesley failed to take out the much more

:22:42.:22:44.

straightforward 80, especially having hit treble 20 with his first

:22:45.:22:51.

dart. But he has the darts, he is throwing first and this is to level

:22:52.:22:54.

the match if he wins this leg come at 2-2.

:22:55.:23:15.

58 and 60. He is being let off a little bit here. He needs an awful

:23:16.:23:35.

lot better than that because he must break the throw to stay alive in

:23:36.:23:44.

this set. That's better. Treble 20, treble 18, double 16 would do.

:23:45.:23:57.

Double 16. This would hurt Wesley. Wesley's opportunity now. 16 leaves

:23:58.:24:08.

double 16. And it's there. All square in sets,

:24:09.:24:39.

2-2, what a match. Here we go. 2-2 in a race to four.

:24:40.:24:47.

And there is an early opportunity for Jim Williams. It sure is but

:24:48.:24:54.

that has blocked it. I would have gone for 19s. The second dart was

:24:55.:25:00.

really blocked out. But gone for 19s. The second dart was

:25:01.:25:09.

there! How are your darts? Not too bad. A bit rusty! We should have a

:25:10.:25:13.

game. I'd go for OK. Trailing by 56 points before the

:25:14.:25:57.

throw. Williams with 121 with a ton. Still going, brilliant marker. 81

:25:58.:26:02.

left. 12 leaves the bull. 25 only. He has

:26:03.:26:34.

been taking these out. Double top is not really working for him and nor

:26:35.:26:36.

is double 10 on this occasion. You have got to take those out, you

:26:37.:27:01.

have to take those opportunities. He has only hit it twice out of ten

:27:02.:27:06.

attempts now. Five comes to his rescue.

:27:07.:27:17.

Jim had so many opportunities. He only has himself to blame. A mild

:27:18.:27:30.

amusing line is reaching us here in the commentary box courtesy of our

:27:31.:27:36.

cameraman on camera number two. He has been here every year since the

:27:37.:27:38.

start, I think. It's a bit involved, this, but

:27:39.:27:59.

Wesley Harms is called Sparky because he used to be an

:28:00.:28:04.

electricity. And the line is, for all of you physics graduates, and

:28:05.:28:14.

lovers of puns I'm being told... What is the potential difference

:28:15.:28:22.

between these two? Are you asking me? I'm just passing it on to be

:28:23.:28:26.

honest! I still don't get it. OK. Had to get it, good start. Double

:28:27.:28:43.

16. No outshot. Double 16 for Williams

:28:44.:29:04.

when he comes back to the oche. He has only hit one of his last ten

:29:05.:29:06.

doubles. It isn't happening for the Welshman.

:29:07.:29:20.

This is really going to hurt. This would be from nowhere. Double 16.

:29:21.:29:27.

You kind of expected him to hit that. He only needed one!

:29:28.:29:37.

I really get enjoyment when I get a match like this. It is absolutely

:29:38.:30:02.

wonderful. Sometimes, with every missed the ball, even the purists

:30:03.:30:06.

would be saying he should not be missing doubles like that, but for

:30:07.:30:10.

us watching, the tension goes high and the excitement goes higher. I am

:30:11.:30:16.

out of my seat on many occasions in this match. I know you are. I am

:30:17.:30:25.

sitting next to you. I am sorry! Just get back down on your own seat,

:30:26.:30:32.

next time! OK two tonnes for Wesley Harms. Lots to do, the gym. -- for

:30:33.:30:37.

Jim Williams. It is still anyone's match. Good

:30:38.:30:51.

marker for a treble, here. Now, in the arena, it says that

:30:52.:31:17.

Wesley Harms needs 210 points. We think that the Miss -- the referee

:31:18.:31:27.

Miss called the 33 as a 22. Let's have a listen. Yes, he has called

:31:28.:31:31.

79. Wesley Harms wins the leg. Need

:31:32.:31:49.

sticky disadvantage. He went for what he was told to go for. And he

:31:50.:32:04.

had it. 2-1, the final set. Williams with a bit of pressure. Oh, yes,

:32:05.:32:13.

this is going to out, and it does, it is the maximum. Everybody on

:32:14.:32:22.

their feet. It is his first of the match. His second ever on the

:32:23.:32:29.

Lakeside stage and the second of this match. He has to win the leg,

:32:30.:32:39.

though. 165, not shot. That is why he went for the 25 but did not quite

:32:40.:32:45.

go low enough and hit the big 20, the skinny bit of the big 20. He

:32:46.:32:51.

will be first to a finish, Jim Williams, in a leg that he must win.

:32:52.:32:58.

Now out shot on 165? These only hitting one, at the

:32:59.:33:12.

moment, in every four darts at a double. That is an awful lot better.

:33:13.:33:25.

Into a deciding leg, then, of this fifth set. Remember it is the first

:33:26.:33:37.

of four. Look at them, so excited. Out of their seats all the time.

:33:38.:33:46.

There it is. The finale. What a match. You cannot get much better

:33:47.:33:51.

than this. It is Williams for the Sun, 140, 261

:33:52.:33:58.

remaining. -- for the time. That is another. What a leg.

:33:59.:34:33.

Natalie, his wife, enjoyed that, but boy, does she still look nervous.

:34:34.:34:40.

Because she knows that the job is not yet complete. Treble 17 and pool

:34:41.:34:54.

would do it. -- bull. This is for the set, and Wesley Harms cannot

:34:55.:34:55.

finish in three darts. 16, double 16. Yes! Listen to the

:34:56.:35:20.

cheers, look at them standing! It is magic. From 2-1 down in this set,

:35:21.:35:35.

having hit only one of his previous 13 darts at a double, Jim Williams

:35:36.:35:43.

has hit two in a row and he is now one step away from a place in the

:35:44.:35:51.

quarterfinals -- one set away. But he has to do it. It is an awkward

:35:52.:36:01.

first dart. And with Jim hitting 140... We have started here.

:36:02.:36:15.

Jim Williams recently has been winning the ones that matter. Not

:36:16.:36:32.

too bad, there, boss. 140, tonne, lovely pitch there. Even better. 62,

:36:33.:36:48.

Jim Williams, treble 10, double 16. 15, the double 16. Three in a row,

:36:49.:37:18.

three doubles in a row from Jim Williams. Pandemonium! Back comes

:37:19.:37:38.

Wesley. 31 years of age, from, the 12th seed. He is feeling now, isn't

:37:39.:37:49.

he? He has got to keep calm, if he can. 100, 140 from Wesley, fighting

:37:50.:37:54.

back. He is a good frontrunner, Jim

:37:55.:38:23.

Williams. He showed that against Tony O'Shea. He has showed it all

:38:24.:38:30.

year, as the 12th seed coming in here. Finished? Not now. Williams on

:38:31.:38:39.

131, which he will be coming back for. OK.

:38:40.:38:50.

How much pressure on the 96? And on this double 18 and this double 9?

:38:51.:39:03.

Occasionally, his but not today. He's showed an awful

:39:04.:39:26.

lot of bottle to find that double. And he's still in this. You would

:39:27.:39:31.

not be surprised if Wesley Harms oneness. 3-2 in sets, 1-1 in legs,

:39:32.:39:46.

still anyone's, I tell you. Just one big mistake and

:39:47.:39:52.

still anyone's, I tell you. Just one curtains. And that would have been

:39:53.:39:57.

the big mistake, had he missed that double 9, you fancy. Certainly do.

:39:58.:40:01.

The way that Williams was finding his doubles, he was really feeling

:40:02.:40:09.

it. Throwing first, you thought he would just finish it off. But, all

:40:10.:40:15.

of a sudden, it is anyone's again. That is why we love darts, Tony.

:40:16.:40:27.

It is a finish for Jim Williams. 160.

:40:28.:40:35.

The scoring is not brilliant, as you can see from those averages, but the

:40:36.:40:46.

excitement is out there. Here we go. Max 50, 82.

:40:47.:40:55.

Williams with 60. Single 20, he wants double tops. Oh! He pulled it

:40:56.:41:11.

away to the left. This is for a break-up row. -- break of throw.

:41:12.:41:22.

And all of the momentum now shifts towards the Netherlands.

:41:23.:41:34.

One leg for Wesley Harms. He has the advantage now. Jim coming back. All

:41:35.:41:50.

square in this leg. He is back in again, he means business. Far more

:41:51.:41:55.

experience than Jim Williams. Yes, 140. Look at this. Pressure on

:41:56.:42:16.

the pair of them. 100, four Wesley, 100, one wooden 40 four Jim

:42:17.:42:21.

Williams. Let's hope the pressure, from here on in, is only going to

:42:22.:42:25.

increase, so let's hope it brings out the best in both these players.

:42:26.:42:32.

Because their best, let me tell you, it's pretty darned good. They both

:42:33.:42:45.

want it. There it is. Yes, that is the first

:42:46.:42:56.

one. To level up this leg. There is the

:42:57.:43:18.

big ten. Is this the double 16? You just knew it!

:43:19.:43:27.

APPLAUSE Look at it, everyone standing!

:43:28.:43:32.

And suddenly everything changes once again, because Jim Williams has the

:43:33.:43:40.

darts. And he is throwing for the match. And what a match. I'm sure

:43:41.:43:49.

that everybody's loving this, falling out of their seats.

:43:50.:44:02.

Block the bed. And that is the result. Would have been better going

:44:03.:44:13.

down for 19. You have got to think your way out of this. Here we go.

:44:14.:44:24.

Wesley Harms isn't finished. If you're going to win it, Jim, you're

:44:25.:44:31.

going to have to win it here. Taking charge. He is much more experienced,

:44:32.:44:36.

obviously, than Jim Williams. But, with pressure like this, it doesn't

:44:37.:44:48.

matter. He has a 100, 136. And now a 134. 131, for the match.

:44:49.:44:58.

This is to level the match at 3-3 sets. He will be back, Jim, on his

:44:59.:45:12.

own throat, well back on T13, with Wesley sitting pretty on 32. -- his

:45:13.:45:15.

own throw. Resigned applause from Jim's dad,

:45:16.:45:31.

Dave, but you didn't really doubt that this match was going to into a

:45:32.:45:38.

deciding set, did you? It had that look about it. From about midway

:45:39.:45:49.

through the second set. Yes, it is all down to these two now. What a

:45:50.:45:54.

match, and what excitement they have brought.

:45:55.:46:03.

Wesley, as I said, more experienced. He has been there before. But Jim,

:46:04.:46:12.

putting up a great formance and still with a chance. Don't worry

:46:13.:46:13.

about that. -- a great performance. And back in the red bit, Wesley

:46:14.:46:29.

Harms. He would love to Hammer home the advantage of winning the sixth

:46:30.:46:39.

set. Take out the 127 and put early pressure on the Williams throw. That

:46:40.:46:40.

is the plan. Nothing Jim can do about this. Has

:46:41.:47:09.

to get into the trebles and hope. 120 is OK, Shanghai on the 20s. If

:47:10.:47:15.

Wesley misses this dart at 77, but he doesn't. -- at double 7. Placing

:47:16.:47:29.

huge pressure on Jim Williams. He has not been in a scrap before, on

:47:30.:47:35.

the leg side stage. We don't know how we is going to react to it. He

:47:36.:47:42.

strolled on his debut in 2014 -- he struggled. He failed to hit 180. And

:47:43.:47:49.

he has lost the advantage of throwing first in this leg. Wesley

:47:50.:48:00.

Harms, really putting them together. He was a seed, two years ago, as

:48:01.:48:06.

well. He came back this year against Tony O'Shea in round one and pretty

:48:07.:48:12.

much had it all his own way. Needs a treble, here. And he finds it. Big

:48:13.:48:22.

dart. Yes, battling away. Back in charge. You cannot keep a Welshman

:48:23.:48:25.

down! He blocked it there, a little. It

:48:26.:48:44.

caught the flight and went into the treble, 126, to finish, for Jim

:48:45.:48:55.

Williams. 19 s and options on them. A treble for the bull's-eye.

:48:56.:49:04.

Williams. 19 s and options on them. deserves a place in the

:49:05.:49:09.

quarterfinals. I think we have had a missed call on

:49:10.:49:19.

the 91. Jim, you require 34. I think we have

:49:20.:49:41.

a problem. No, I think that's right, Tony. It has come of the barrel. It

:49:42.:49:49.

went too far over. This is to move to within one leg of

:49:50.:50:03.

the quarterfinals. Two darts at double 10 for Wesley Harms. Natalie

:50:04.:50:15.

looks nerveless, so too double 10 for Wesley Harms. Natalie

:50:16.:50:23.

Yolande. Wesley Harms has the darts. The quarterfinals or in his hands.

:50:24.:50:29.

The atmosphere is brilliant. But this is where it is going to end. We

:50:30.:50:38.

will see. Opportunity for Jim Williams all stop he must take it.

:50:39.:50:46.

We don't want it to end. Your absolutely right. The last match of

:50:47.:50:58.

the afternoon session. On Wednesday afternoon at the Lakeside. Nobody

:50:59.:51:02.

wants to end. Perhaps she does! Natalie. She will hear from the

:51:03.:51:15.

Cheers. It's there, and another. And another.

:51:16.:51:30.

Only 60 from Jim Williams. Wesley, to turn the screw, here. That 60 was

:51:31.:51:42.

where they shut the roof. It is a finish. 135.

:51:43.:51:50.

He is not going to leave a finish. He is not going to be close. Wesley

:51:51.:52:05.

for the match from 135. There is Yolande. Are you starting to

:52:06.:52:19.

believe, Yolande? She should do. 66. Double 10, -- treble 10, double 18.

:52:20.:52:28.

This one, now, for the match. On the wire! It is still going on. Another

:52:29.:52:31.

shot for Jim Williams. This is a big one, double 4, for the

:52:32.:52:54.

quarterfinals. Oh, no! He can't check out. 85 left. Go for it your

:52:55.:53:10.

own way. Cannot finish. But Wesley can.

:53:11.:53:16.

Double 2. 11. -- double 1. Yes! It ends with Wesley Harms through to

:53:17.:53:36.

the quarterfinals. It was a right old battle. It certainly was. Magic,

:53:37.:53:46.

that is what I call it. Terrific match ladies and gentlemen, let's

:53:47.:53:52.

hear it for both players, Jim Williams, and through to the

:53:53.:53:53.

quarterfinals, Sparky, Wesley Harms! Wesley managing to get out of harms

:53:54.:54:22.

way but only just against Jim Williams. But it was the double that

:54:23.:54:28.

counted and a smile on the face of his girlfriend, Yolande, when he

:54:29.:54:43.

landed that double 1. Bobby George, to be fair to Sparky, he improved

:54:44.:54:47.

when he can back after the break enough to get the job done. The last

:54:48.:54:54.

set was more exciting. Jim missed a few double 16 s. Then he got in

:54:55.:54:59.

front and he could not catch him in the end. That is what the 180 at the

:55:00.:55:05.

end did. But he deserved it. It was an exciting game at the end. It was

:55:06.:55:13.

was he going to win, was Wesley going to win, was Jim going to win?

:55:14.:55:19.

Were is that Wesley that we know is their? We have seen it so many times

:55:20.:55:25.

on the Lakeside state. He probably finishes in the 90 on average

:55:26.:55:29.

overall. He is going to have to produce it to get further in this

:55:30.:55:34.

tournament. 85, 86 average, wasn't very good at all. If he doesn't

:55:35.:55:39.

approve that he will not go any further. You have got to be in the

:55:40.:55:44.

90s at every stage of the game. You can get a little bit lucky, you

:55:45.:55:49.

never know, but normally, 92-96, then you have got some chance of

:55:50.:55:54.

performing well. We can talk about Wesley, who is alongside us now.

:55:55.:55:58.

Talking about the positive points of the performance. You had to battle

:55:59.:56:02.

of their, and you are too-1 down at the break. What do you say to

:56:03.:56:07.

scoring wise, it went all right. Missed a few doubles. At the end, it

:56:08.:56:19.

came in. And I won the game. The checkout percentage was good, at

:56:20.:56:22.

40%. You were hitting some doubles when they really mattered. Yes, I

:56:23.:56:30.

focused myself on hitting that one dart at the double if I need to. And

:56:31.:56:35.

I need a little bit of pressure, I guess. I wonder, is that it? Have we

:56:36.:56:41.

seen the best of Sparky up there, when you are playing against someone

:56:42.:56:47.

who is hanging in 180 and 140, but you have got that in you, you're

:56:48.:56:51.

like a tiger that way, you will rise and we will see the real Sparky. To

:56:52.:57:00.

be fair, Bobby sees me and as soon as someone hits the Troubles and

:57:01.:57:04.

doubles I can hit it as well. I just go with the player. When I need to

:57:05.:57:11.

level up or reach up for something, I can do that. It was interesting,

:57:12.:57:18.

going back to when we first met you, to come back looking for DVDs from

:57:19.:57:24.

every game and studying them. Have you still got that fire when the and

:57:25.:57:28.

easy as to study your opponents or has your approach changed? I still

:57:29.:57:35.

need the DVD from this game and the approach is still the same. What are

:57:36.:57:41.

they charging you, is it ?1 99 for the DVD? I think that Bobby will pay

:57:42.:57:47.

for it anyway. Thank you very much! I study them so that I know what my

:57:48.:57:57.

opponent can do. Jim Williams has won tournaments previously. And I

:57:58.:58:01.

thought to myself, I want to defend my title. But it didn't work out. So

:58:02.:58:08.

I wanted to beat him. And luckily, I did. Yolande went through it all

:58:09.:58:15.

with you as well, so we'll let you go back to friends and family.

:58:16.:58:17.

You're through to the quarterfinals here at the Lakeside. Looking into

:58:18.:58:22.

the past history of Lakeside, the name that nobody thought would ever

:58:23.:58:27.

be back here was John Boye Walton. He managed to get through the

:58:28.:58:32.

qualifiers before, in his first round, in his prelim match he had an

:58:33.:58:39.

average of over 90, then he came up against a guy that is popular on the

:58:40.:58:42.

BBDO tour, finally doing it at the Lakeside. Brian Dawson against John

:58:43.:58:47.

Walton, and it went all the way to two sets all. And John Boye has the

:58:48.:58:55.

advantage as we bring you some more darts to fill up the spare time that

:58:56.:58:58.

we have, because Wesley got the job done.

:58:59.:59:11.

Both of them averaging highly in their finishes. But it is more than

:59:12.:59:20.

that. They have taken them out in key situations. Good response to

:59:21.:59:31.

that 140. 180! The eighth of the match. It is high quality. Walton

:59:32.:59:45.

went for the ball. Dawson with the darts. And a healthy advantage. But

:59:46.:59:54.

not supplemented. He has got to win this leg, Dawson, and Walton knows

:59:55.:00:04.

that he can put him under pressure. He will have a chance.

:00:05.:00:15.

156 to go 2-0 up. Can't be done now. Dawson with a terrific opportunity

:00:16.:00:22.

to square up the set. He has gone double 16 so double 12,

:00:23.:00:38.

brilliant! Trust me, he didn't intend to do that but having got

:00:39.:00:43.

double 16, he was flawless in his execution of double 12.

:00:44.:01:20.

Fine last dart. Trading below for below -- blow for blow.

:01:21.:01:39.

Walton will fancy his chances from here. Dawson just creaking a little

:01:40.:01:49.

bit. This is to move with in a leg of the match. He will come back.

:01:50.:02:00.

That's not bad. 64 is a decent leave. Steady ton for Dawson. Now

:02:01.:02:09.

Walton to make it 2-1. Double 16. Now tops! Oh! He

:02:10.:02:36.

the mark. And grimaces as he puts in a big miss. Walton focuses but can

:02:37.:02:47.

he via? -- can he fire. Come on, he says. To get it to 2-1, at which

:02:48.:02:56.

point it would have to be a two leg margin for victory, Dawson has to

:02:57.:03:05.

throw and hold here. Otherwise Walton will win.

:03:06.:03:25.

Walton is a long way back. That is a shame because it was a loose visit

:03:26.:03:33.

from Dawson. That is more like it from John Boy. Dawson still has the

:03:34.:03:35.

advantage. from John Boy. Dawson still has the

:03:36.:03:44.

adjustment. No real damage done, still has the advantage. Ton minimum

:03:45.:03:54.

you fear, at the moment. Tried to force it through the middle.

:03:55.:04:00.

Working right along the oche to create an angle for the treble 20

:04:01.:04:05.

but he misses it. Dawson waiting on a finish.

:04:06.:04:13.

big one. 161. Dawson waiting on a finish.

:04:14.:04:26.

roof if this goes in. He has missed treble 17.

:04:27.:04:33.

What kind of pressure can Walton put on? Not a great deal. Good last

:04:34.:04:45.

dart. Cracking game, it feels like a final, it has that sort of rivalry.

:04:46.:04:56.

Walton, Shanghai for the match. Treble 1 is not the advised route!

:04:57.:05:11.

Dawson will come back with double 16 to square up the match. Now he has

:05:12.:05:14.

got it! Here we go, double 16. Can he get

:05:15.:05:26.

it? Of course he can! We are going the distance. Ladies and gentlemen,

:05:27.:05:33.

the match must now be won by two clear legs. Should we reach 5-5, the

:05:34.:05:39.

11th leg will be sudden death. Good game of darts. Nip and tuck. It

:05:40.:05:47.

deserved to go all the way. Walton started superbly and had the early

:05:48.:05:51.

advantage but what cuts from Dawson to fight back. -- what guts. A lot

:05:52.:06:01.

of tension up there now. They have to win by two clear legs otherwise,

:06:02.:06:07.

if it goes all the way, it is sudden death. Two great mates, won't feel

:06:08.:06:13.

like that at the moment. Don't forget that Walton has had two macro

:06:14.:06:18.

darts for the match. It seems a long time ago. Almost a lifetime ago in

:06:19.:06:25.

the context of the match. You wonder if he is still thinking about it.

:06:26.:06:33.

You hope not, for his sake. No doubt it is lodged somewhere in the psyche

:06:34.:06:41.

and he does not need that. Dawson effectively as the darts. That is an

:06:42.:06:47.

opportunity missed, a big opportunity missed to really turn

:06:48.:06:52.

the screw. He has still nibbled a bit into the Walton throw, certainly

:06:53.:06:58.

if John cannot find a treble. This is tension, nerves. Who can

:06:59.:07:05.

withstand it better? The Walton arm has stiffened. He has got a ton on

:07:06.:07:10.

him now. He will be disappointed after the

:07:11.:07:18.

opening dart. It is the old pub game favourite,

:07:19.:07:29.

Shanghai. He will come back because Walton has

:07:30.:07:58.

had a shocker just when it matters most. It is curious sometimes. There

:07:59.:08:16.

it is! At last he is in front. It could be a decisive strike if he

:08:17.:08:22.

holds his throw, it is Dawson's match. What a batch and now real

:08:23.:08:29.

pressure on John Walton. That was not good. Where is that treble,

:08:30.:08:43.

John? He is only finding it when the pressure is off. Sweating up in the

:08:44.:08:49.

paddock a little bit, just dabbing the brow. This is good from Dawson.

:08:50.:09:00.

Very close to another 180. Brian Dawson can almost taste it now.

:09:01.:09:07.

Maybe we are not done yet. Either way, it is my guess that these two

:09:08.:09:13.

will have a celebratory pint, whatever the result. It has been a

:09:14.:09:17.

terrific contest. Another huge hit from Dawson. I wouldn't be pouring

:09:18.:09:23.

it just yet. Because here is Walton. He was just checking, terrific dart.

:09:24.:09:47.

52 for the match when Dawson comes back.

:09:48.:09:54.

Double 16. A brilliant match, a fabulous finish and Brian Dawson

:09:55.:10:09.

finally downs John Boyle Walton in an absolute cracker. 3-2. John Boy

:10:10.:10:16.

had two macro darts for the match -- John Boy Walton. Dawson goes

:10:17.:10:27.

through. That was so good, it was ridiculous, we couldn't take our

:10:28.:10:30.

eyes off it. What was it like to be in it and win it? To be in it,

:10:31.:10:38.

painful! But to win it, amazing. Absolutely amazing. What can I say?

:10:39.:10:44.

Phenomenal game. I think it was but I can't remember my games, but he

:10:45.:10:51.

doesn't give up. Neither do you. Where do you get that dogged

:10:52.:10:57.

determination to not wilt under the pressure and think come OK, he's got

:10:58.:11:05.

me? Somehow you got back into it? He is a great champion but I never feel

:11:06.:11:10.

as if he has got me tonight, nobody has ever got me until they put in

:11:11.:11:17.

the final double. It's the final double that counts and I will never

:11:18.:11:20.

give up and if they miss, I am coming. He will have to come again

:11:21.:11:26.

tonight against Jeff Smith. We know what he will do, average about 93

:11:27.:11:34.

and check out at about 40%! He is like a limpet, Jeff Smith. Would you

:11:35.:11:41.

dare to predict that? Dawson played good last night. John Walton did

:11:42.:11:47.

beat him up in the first couple of sets and he came back and played

:11:48.:11:54.

well. It is almost the same sort of level now. That bit extra he has

:11:55.:12:00.

got, he can hit his shots out, Jeff Smith. We are getting back before

:12:01.:12:10.

that one starts. We kicked off this evening with Martin Phillips against

:12:11.:12:13.

Dennis Harbour. A lot of respect on stage. The experience of Martin

:12:14.:12:20.

Phillips? He has been playing for years. And Harbour has as well,

:12:21.:12:28.

Harbour is very slow. Phillips just gets on with his game, no messing

:12:29.:12:38.

about. It is like going for a walk! He is like hundred, hundred,

:12:39.:12:41.

hundred, Harbour will slow him down. He takes him down. He is a hard

:12:42.:12:50.

guide to play against. -- guy. He can win games you wouldn't think he

:12:51.:12:55.

could win. I want to mark your card for tomorrow afternoon because we

:12:56.:13:00.

have Scott Mitchell and Lisa Ashton both playing, quarterfinal action

:13:01.:13:04.

for Elisa, second round Fort Scott Mitchell. And those three games this

:13:05.:13:10.

evening. -- for Lisa. We have the highlights show coming up at 11:15pm

:13:11.:13:18.

after an afternoon when Durrant was smoking, Stanley was on fire and

:13:19.:13:23.

Wesley, of course the spark, still goes on.

:13:24.:13:45.

Listen to that cheer. It's going to be our year.

:13:46.:14:03.

With a little bit of luck I can see us lift the cup.

:14:04.:14:08.

It's the FA Cup. Anything can happen.

:14:09.:14:10.

I've seen it all before. I reckon we'll score four.

:14:11.:14:13.

It's the FA Cup. Anything could happen.

:14:14.:14:18.
